You don't know what you're talking about. Please read this: Cornell Law School explains the law and procedure of impeachment., since you apparently didn't read it when I posted it earlier.

Under the constitution, a president can be impeached for almost any kind of misconduct. There is no requirement of "undisputable [sic] evidence." There is no requirement that Bush knew there were "absolutely NO WMD's." The actual legal standards for impeachment are set forth in the constitution and in federal case law, and they bear no resemblance to the fantasy you are trying to palm off on us here.

Now please join the regularly scheduled reality that the rest of this planet partakes in. If you think that the Downing Street Memo in of itself is something that will bring forth impeachment hearings, I have beachfront property here in Kansas you may be interested in. Why? Evidence! You fringe left-wingers are like a group of Howler Monkeys; if you scream a particular line long and loud enough, you think everyone will pay attention and believe your message despite any HARD evidence. Well, the political posturing just doesn't line up too well against the ACTUAL evidence:

First, Bush and his staff kept pushing a peaceful UN route all the way up to the invasion. They kept offering Husssein outs; Hell, they even offered an ultimatum that put forth exile as an option that would stave off invasion. Having a decade of history to look at that put forth the pattern of continual lies and obfucation by Iraq definitely didn't paint a rosy picture of any type of honest compliance.

In short, it looks like the US prepared for the worst, but hoped for the best.

Secondly, the invasion of Iraq was put to a vote in the House and Senate and PASSED. Many of your left-wing pals apparently made an independent judgement call on the evidence presented by the intelligence community themselves in favor of ousting Hussein, or have you convienently forgot that?

Finally, you actually think that with the current House and Senate that impeachment has a snowball's chance in Hell? Drop the hookah. Seriously. There will have to be OVERBEARING evidence brought forth and I think that has about as much chance as existing as us finding massive amounts of WMD in Iraq...

Precisely! You left-field straight-jacket cases are so focused on fixing events and viewing them through a kaleidoscope to line up with impeachment that you are missing the bigger picture. This country didn't go to war on Iraq SOLELY over the the importation of aluminum tubes, the supposed "Al-Qaeda" links, which were brought up in the last months of the saga; we went to war with Iraq due to the OVERWHELMING reason of missing WMD from the official UN tallies (which came from Hussein and his staff), this going on for a decade and finally the HUGE security concern it presented in light of 9/11.
